At the Isidore Newman School Invitational, the second ExtemporaneouS Speaking Tournament of Champions (TOC) qualifying tournament held last week, Nova Senior High School (FL) became the second team to have two different winners at TOC qualifying tournaments this season when Eleanor Bock secured a four rank win over Kelsey England of Northland Christian School (TX). Bradley Wascher of Saint James School (AL) took third place.
The final round of the tournament was largely a showdown between Nova Senior and Saint James, as Nova had three finalists and Saint James had two.
All of the finalists at Isidore Newman received a qualifying leg for the Extemp TOC at Northwestern University. No extemper secured their at-large qualification since Bock was already previously qualified to the TOC and none of the other finalists obtained a qualifying leg prior to the tournament. The extempers receiving a qualifying leg are indicated in italics below.
The extempers in the final round also secured an automatic qualification to the University of Kentucky TOC in April.
